now because come tuesday, the resources might be so stretched that if they call the help, that help might not arrive. we are talking about a massive area we are dealing with, some 600 or 700 thousand hectares that is a light so we are having to deal with that ahead of these worsening conditions on tuesday so we need people to understand that when they do ask for assistance, a fire truck may not be able to turn up. we may not be able to get you aerial support. we are trying to encourage everybody to use this weekend to prepare. you've reported on fires like this on the ground. what is different about them this time? well, in terms of, it is different location so time last year, i was in new south wales reporting on bushfires in a small country town called tathra and it

was complete he wiped out so it is happening again this time. to have another bush tire —— bush fire disaster in string ——to have another bush fire disaster in spring before summer is happening, is right in. people were quite literally left with the clothes on their back. they spoke of that moment of terror when a bush fire is rapidly approaching and they have the toy —— the choice either to leave or take shelter and for many, leaving their properties can be incredibly hard. they might be leaving behind pets, livestock. a lot of people in australia own horses and cattle. last summer was the hottest on record. we are facing a very hot summer. let's listen to what ben had to say. the actual weather conditions over the last few

daysis weather conditions over the last few days is what we would see in the middle or worst parts of summer. we had an extraordinary start to this fire season. we will be approaching a million have tears being burned at this stage, the bureau of meteorology is predicting more of this weather over the coming months so this weather over the coming months so it doesn't bode well for the rest of the fire season. it doesn't bode well is probably an understatement. just talk to us about what people in the ground are doing. tuesday is a potential pinch point. there are a lot of people camped out in a number of reasons. there is a risk it could colla pse of reasons. there is a risk it could collapse and also the risk of asbestos. people are huddled together in makeshift evacuation

centres and they don't know what remains back home so it's incredibly stressful for them. we've been speaking to people on the ground. we spoke to bill robertson from red rock. he said he has been biting spot fires. he's been running up water to firefighters. there is a level of community spirit. we've lost three people, potentially more. it takes a huge toll on those small country towns. tensions are high in bolivia as the president, evo morales, comes under more pressure to resign after accusations that last month's election was rigged. the main opposition leader has turned down the president”s invitation to talks. evo morales, comes under more pressure to resign after accusations that last month's election was rigged. the main opposition leader has turned down the president”s groups of police in three cities join the protest against the

president. the police mutiny is the first sign that elements of the security forces have been withdrawing support from evo morales. latin america's longest standing leader won the election on october 20 but a delay of nearly a day in the vote count has sparked allegations of fraud and led to protests, strikes and road locks. the president tried a tough approach initially, accusing the police of trying to mount a coup against him but now he appears to be more cautious, calling for an urgent meeting with the opposition parties. his main rival, carlos messa, turned him down. translation: i have nothing to negotiate with evo morales and his government. not only is there no coup under way, you have a country galvanised for democracy. you have an entire country which demands the defence of the vote.

bolivia is going through a period of dangerous instability which leaves president morales looking exposed and weakened. as opponents pressure the military to follow the example of the police, the army has made it clear they will support the constitution. transmack we confirm we will never confront the people to whom we have a duty and we will a lwa ys whom we have a duty and we will always ensure peace, coexistent in the development of our homeland. with all sides in the conflict in bolivia deadlocked, it's hard to see how evo morales can resolve the situation. let's get some of the day's other news. at least four people have been killed in the iraqi capital baghdad, after security forces clashed with anti—government protesters. it's the latest in a wave of demonstrations in the country, demanding a complete change to iraq's political system. president trump says he's likely to release the transcript of a second phone call

mobile phones, to various fishermen and villages across southern bangladesh. and then they sent to different villages using loudspeakers to tell people that they now need to go to safety. otherwise they will also use army and security forces, physically putting people into shelters. so these are some of the methods they use and they also use television and radio, warning people about the danger. they have realised that, unless they moved to some safety, that their lives will be in danger and that was one of the reasons why people think they can tied over and sit on the top of the roof and, if we spend another few hours we will be fine but bangladesh has learned its lesson and disaster management for the last few years has been good. india's prime minister, narendra modi, has welcomed the supreme court's decision to award a bitterly disputed religious site in the northern town of ayodhya to hindus. he called for a new india,

translation: india is known for unity and diversity and it's reflected in today's verdict. it is a golden chapter in india'sjudicial system. but some wonder where it leaves the secular values india was built on. translation: i think this country is on its way to becoming a hindu nation. bjp and its allies are driving this agenda. muslims will now be given a separate plot of land to build a mosque. while many believe today's verdict hands something to both sides, will it make a lasting difference in healing this country's deep religious divides? rajini vaidyanathan, bbc news, delhi. rescue crews are still working to evacuate homes across parts of northern england and the midlands after a months worth of rain fell in one day. seven severe flood warnings

question is, is this a sporting event or is it an entertainment event? i think it is a little bit of both. thank you for having me. today, sports are entertainment at their core. you have seen the opportunity that is presented, but this is their second fight, the first fight alone generated between estimates of $800,000 —— 800,000 views pay—per—view. a0 million combined volley was have proved to have an audience. they can find them very attractive to add new subscribers. those new subscribers, do you think they are going to be diehard boxing fans will die hard boxing fans look at this and think, this isn't for me? i don't think the boxing... the new subscribers will be diehard boxing fans, but is a bad

thing? i think that is something you have to ask and there is conversation the other day between the fact that another fight on dazn that they had at madison square gardens, it was the ufc fight going on. before that, we run a poll of oui’ on. before that, we run a poll of our audience and 60% of them would rather watch ufc than boxing. you have an opportunity, it is not traditional, it is still boxing, it is still an official fight, it still has all the regulations, they are doing it how they would, but it is a unique and different way and a different take. the purists are not going to be happy but if you are looking at it from an outside standpoint, you have the opportunity to bring in new fans to the sport, which at the end of the day, that is a good thing. you mentioned new ways to bring fans to the sport and a new way of doing business. these are two people who started out sitting at home with a camera in their bedroom and now here they are, bringing in

tens of millions of fans. at the end of the day, these you to people, they have influence. —— youtube. they are willing to do things because of what they are doing, and you can't ignore that. you cannot deny that. what they saw is the fact that these kids sold out manchester arena 20,000 plus, they sold a million youtube buyers for this thing. they have many people watching. if you look at that, it seems like a pretty good business endeavour to try and do it again on a platform that is driven by subscriptions. if it lets out anywhere near probably what it is that the first one did on dazn, that isa that the first one did on dazn, that is a pretty good success. in one word, who do you think will win?” think dazn is going to win at the end of the day! very good answer.

you know what i mean? it is more than two youtubers fighting. at the end of the day, the winners are going to be the people putting it on and finding the ways to do it. i think dazn wins at the end of the day. thank you very much for your thoughts. appreciated. thank you. thousands of people have turned out for a concert at the brandenburg gate at the end of a day marking the 30th anniversary of the fall of the berlin wall. the german chancellor, angela merkel, called on europeans to stand up for freedom, tolerance and human rights. this report from jenny hill. this city set the world alight 30 years ago. tonight, berlin is still on fire. cheering the wall was loathed, feared, resisted. in the end,

it couldn't hold them back. cornelia was 11 when communist east germany came tumbling down. i remember also that when we could go to the west part, that...the smelling. i will never forget about the smelling in the shops because it was such an amazing smell i never had before. in 1961, the world looked on as, brick by brick, east berlin became a prison, its citizens sealed off from friends and family in the west, trapped in an oppressive communist regime. monika was among them. the wall, she told us, tore her family apart. she never knew her grandfather, who lived in the west. by the time the wall fell, he was dead. angela merkel, leading commemorations today, also grew up behind

the iron curtain. it shaped her politics, her aversion to borders and walls. but even she admits divisions remain between the old east and west. the revolution was astonishingly bloodless. this, many declared, the birth of a new world order, one which some warn is at risk today. translation: the values upon which europe is founded — freedom, democracy, equality, rule of law, the preservation of human rights — they absolutely cannot be taken for granted and must constantly be defended. for germany, this is a bittersweet day. a commemoration of hardship endured, a celebration of freedom won, but a chance too to reflect on new divisions. but tonight, lit up with celebration, berlin will simply remember the day so many never dared to hope would come. jenny hill, bbc news, berlin.
